that region.
A) True
B) False

4) If the electric potential at a point in space is zero, then the electric field at that point must also
be zero.
A) True
B) False

5) A negative charge, if free, will tend to move

6) Suppose a region of space has a uniform electric field, directed towards the right, as shown in
the figure. Which statement about the electric potential is true?

A) The potential at all three locations (A, B, C) is the same because the field is uniform.
B) The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is higher than the
potential at point A.
C) The potential at points A and B are equal, and the potential at point C is lower than the
potential at point A.
D) The potential at point A is the highest, the potential at point B is the second highest, and the
potential at point C is the lowest.

8) Suppose you have two point charges of opposite sign. As you move them farther and farther
apart, the potential energy of this system relative to infinity
A) increases.
B) decreases.
C) stays the same.

9) Suppose you have two negative point charges. As you move them farther and farther apart, the
potential energy of this system relative to infinity
A) increases.
B) decreases.
C) stays the same.

23.2 Problems

12) Two point charges of +1.0 μC and -2.0 μC are located 0.50 m apart. What is the minimum
amount of work needed to move the charges apart to double the distance between them? (k =
1/4πε0 = 8.99 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2)
A) -36 mJ
B) +18 mJ
C) 0 mJ
D) +36 mJ
E) -18 mJ

13) Two equal point charges Q are separated by a distance d. One of the charges is released and
moves away from the other due only to the electrical force between them. When the moving
charge is a distance 3d from the other charge, what is its kinetic energy?
